Hi Mom, It's a little difficult to tell you specific information about the drug you found because you didn't say what you found. If you found medications that are asthma related, you can read about them here in the drugs database. There are some asthma medications that are available over the counter. These would be the inhaler and pill forms of epinephrine medications like Primatene. There is a very good article by Dr. Fred Little about over the counter medicines. The article explains what these over the counter meds are and how they are used. You can read the article here.   I hope this helps. If you want to give us a little more information, we can give you better details.   Take care and stay in touch!Vicki M
